5 Quotes That I Try To Live By

As a college student, there are some days that we view of as more of a challenge and struggle than a blessing. It is these days, especially that I try to go back to these five quotes and strive to implement them in my daily life. Here are 5 quotes to live by...

1. Throw kindness around like confetti.

No act of kindness is too big or too small. Even the smallest acts of kindness can create ripple effects.

2. If Plan A fails, remember there are 25 more letters in the alphabet.

Find different ways to solve a problem if one doesn't end up working. Sometimes it is hard to see past a certain point especially when it is the end goal; however, there are other ways to reach that goal or if need be it is certainly ok to change a goal given present circumstances.

3. You have to sometimes cross the forest to get to the mountaintop.

You have to be willing to work hard to achieve your goals. It may seem like a pain when you have to put countless hours each day, but I promise you that it is worth it at the end when your hard work pays off.

4. Opportunities don’t happen; you create them. ~Chris Grosser

Opportunities won't just come knocking on your doorstep. Trust your gut and take the risk to put yourself out there and find what you are looking for because one of the biggest mistakes is having regrets.

5. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Don't let other people put you down. You have to believe in yourself and be confident within to move forward.

I hope that at least one of these quotes resonated with anyone reading this post!

10 Ways To Be The Girl Every Guy Wants

1. Smile all the time.

Guys want to be with girls who are always happy. Men get severely uncomfortable when all the women around them are not Cheshire cat level elated all the fucking time. Why are you mad? Why do you look so pissed? Are you defective? Autopilot your brain to borderline creepy giddiness before men get the idea that you might actually be capable of a full range of human emotion.

2. Be smart.

Men want women to be smart, but never smarter than them. Don’t know or say anything too much about anything specifically – except sports.

3. Eat like a man, look like a lady.

How many burgers can you fit in your mouth at once? Better, even, how many hotdogs? Have the appetite of a grizzly bear, but eat like a cute tiny rabbit, or Kate Upton faking an orgasm. Oh, and never, ever get above a size 4.

4. Play video games.

No guy can resist a girl who loves to play video games (in her underwear). Fifa, 2K, Smash, Kart – know them all. If you can’t at least beat his worst friend at his favorite game, you’re not a keeper.

5. Love beer.

If you can’t throw ‘em back like one of the guys, you’re not wifey. Yeah, that Norwegian IPA no one's ever fucking heard of? You got it. Bud Light? Sure. Fat Tire? You love that shit. Feel free to let out that beer burp while you’re at it, but the burp you’d imagine a Japanese dwarf squirrel would let out after eating rainbows. Oh, and don’t forget, size 4.

6. Be a freak, but also a nun.

We all know that lyric (thank you, Ludacris, so much). Hit those yoga poses hard because he wants you to bust that shit out like you’ve done it before. But you haven’t … right? Have you?!

7. Keep him on his toes.

No man wants a woman who is predictable and boring. Challenge him. Keep him intrigued. Drop an F bomb every now and then. Learn a foreign language in your spare time so that you might give the illusion of being exotic in bed (Slavic languages sound super sexy). Induce yourself into an epileptic seizure. Whatever it takes to keep it interesting.

8. Have quirks.

Ah, quirks. The things that make people unique. The things that make people, people. You must have at least three of these but no more than five. Think relatable Stepford Wife.

9. Be hot.

This is potentially the most important, and luckily I don’t need to tell you how this works. Look at anything. Anywhere. That ever existed.

10. Never, ever get mad.

The worst thing you can do as a woman is challenge a man’s authority. Don’t talk back. Don’t think. Don’t have expectations. Sit. Roll over. Hold the bark.

15 Thing Only Early 2000's Kids Will Understand

This is it early 2000's babies, a compilation finally made for you. This list is loaded with things that will make you swoon with nostalgia.

1. Not being accepted by the late 90's kids.

Giphy

Contrary to what one may think, late 90's and early 00's kids had the same childhood, but whenever a 00's kid says they remember something on an "only 90's kids will understand" post they are ridiculed.

2. Fortune tellers.

Giphy

Every day in elementary school you would whip one of these bad boys out of your desk, and proceed to tell all of your classmates what lifestyle they were going to live and who they were going to marry.

5. Parachutes.
